I have an amazing treat for you today - Ferrero Rocher cupcakes!I didn't set out to make Ferrero Rocher cupcakes but as I was making some chocolate cupcakes for Miss Frugal and her friends, I spied some Ferrero Rochers tucked away in the treat jar and thought I'd have a bit of an experiment. The sad thing is that, because I didn't know how they would work out, I only made two of these bad boys! I used the rest of the chocolate cake mix to make normal cupcakes but if I'd known how brilliantly these would turn out I would have definitely made more - lots more! How to make amazing … [Read more...]
A Perfect Weekend…. {Part 2}
So, earlier this week I told you about the start of my lovely weekend away last weekend and today, I'm going to tell you about the main event - the blogging retreat that was hosted by the amazing Tots100 team.I'm naturally quite shy and because of that, I generally avoid these types of events but after loving last year's UK Money Bloggers conference as much as I did, I decided that leaving my comfort zone every now and again was a good thing. Mr Frugal treated me to the weekend as part of my Christmas present and ever since I found out I was going I've been torn between excitement at … [Read more...]
Five Frugal Things I’ve done this week {27 April 2018}….
Every week I share five frugal things that I've done during that week just to show you that the small things you do all add up to a great frugal lifestyle where you can learn to live a fabulously frugal life.Before I start though, I do want to say that being frugal to me is about getting the best value for our money - it's not about doing without for us or about not having nice things. We all have different financial situations and we're all frugal for different reasons - we're frugal so we can afford to do nice things together.1) I don't know if you have any beauty staples that … [Read more...]
20 Fun and Frugal Hobbies for you to enjoy….
I'm a strong believer that everyone should do something that they enjoy doing to relax them but I'm well aware that lots of hobbies cost money so I wanted to give you a bit of an idea of what frugal hobbies you can do that won't break the bank - some of them might even make or save you some money as well as bringing you enjoyment.I've written about how I try to create every day before because just a few minutes of creativity makes me happier but it doesn't have to be every day - just taking a few minutes when you can to do something you enjoy will definitely have a positive effect on … [Read more...]
A Perfect Weekend…. {Part 1}
Last Thursday, I boarded a plane at Newcastle airport and set off on a bit of a journey - a journey that would not only take me to the other end of the country but one that I hoped would help me to begin the healing process after my Dad passed away last month.I'd originally planned a cheeky weekend away at the Flea Retreats Blogging Weekend which was a gift from Mr Frugal at Christmas but after my Dad died, I was very tempted to cancel the weekend entirely. In the end, after some convincing from my lovely little family, I went the other way completely and booked an extra night away at the … [Read more...]
